ME News reports that on September 9 (UTC+8), CoinGecko stated in its latest RWA report that the synthetic pre-IPO market has begun serving as an effective valuation indicator for traditional IPOs, with on-chain perpetual contracts providing continuous price discovery and a market sentiment anchor for popular private companies prior to their official exchange listing. The report cites SpaceX and CXMT (ChangXin Memory Technologies) as examples: prior to its IPO, SpaceX’s perpetual contract prices on various platforms fluctuated between $158 and $170, gradually converging near $157.40; when its first trade on Nasdaq settled at $150.05, the discrepancy was approximately 4.9%. The deviation between CXMT’s pre-IPO perpetual contract prices and its actual opening price was also around 4.6%. CoinGecko believes that, in the absence of real spot shares as immediate arbitrage anchors, traders still form relatively concentrated quotes based on valuation, IPO popularity, and future liquidity. On-chain pre-IPO perpetual contracts will thus serve as an important reference price before traditional order books open, offering global investors a 24/7 channel to express bullish or bearish expectations.

Summary
CoinGecko’s latest daily market report highlights how on-chain pre-IPO perpetual futures are emerging as key valuation indicators for traditional IPOs. These contracts provide continuous price discovery and sentiment anchors before exchanges open. The report notes that SpaceX’s perpetual futures fluctuated between $158 and $170 before settling near $157.40, while its Nasdaq opening price was $150.05, representing a 4.9% deviation. CXMT also showed a 4.6% gap. Without real-time arbitrage anchors, traders cluster pricing around valuation and liquidity. Perpetual futures thus serve as a 24-hour channel for investor sentiment ahead of traditional order books.
